Groups of underprivileged children, who are associated with different charitable schools in Rohtak, are engaged in serving Covid patients, arranging and distributing ration among the needy and creating awareness about the pandemic.

These children come from humble backgrounds and face financial and other constraints themselves. Yet they have dedicated themselves to the service of those who have been hit hard by Covid and/or rendered jobless due to the lockdown.

Girl volunteers of “Make The Future of Country” (MTFC), a voluntary body that runs a school for the underprivileged children, supply packets of cooked meal at the doorsteps of Covid-hit families. These girls also take care of the patients admitted to a Covid care centre set up by Jan Sewa Sansthan, a local NGO.

Student-volunteers of Gandhi School, another informal institution meant for the children of migrants and other labourers, arrange ration from well-to-do residents and distribute it among the lockdown-hit workers and other needy persons.

Volunteers of Abhinav Toly, a training centre run for children from the lower strata of society, distribute medicines, ration, sanitary pads and facemasks, etc among the slum-dwellers and others in need.

“These children are a source of inspiration for all. Social activists running these schools – Naresh Dhall of MTFC, Naresh Kumar of Gandhi School and Jagdeep Jugnu of Abhinav Toly – also deserve accolades for grooming their students as sensitive human beings and responsible citizens,” says Dr Parveen Malhotra of Rohtak PGIMS, who has been supporting such initiatives.
